Clusterfuck Aesthetic
Cluster Aesthetic was
about the new cacophony and the chaos theory. The series of art installations
are more dominated by men than women since in the reading, it said that women
don’t get off to making mess in making art work compared to men. The likes of
these artists are Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy and Jason Rhoades. Jerry Saltz,
who wrote the Clusterfuck Aesthetic, says that Mike Kelley’s work was a
pioneering example of the Clusterfuck Aesthetic which meant the tendency
towards overloaded multimedia environments in contemporary art. I saw Mike
Kelley’s “Day is done” video and thought it was really weird and a perfect example
of the Clusterfuck Aesthetic. His work was about pop culture and exhibited
random things that did not seem to make sense when added together, but all
exhibited pop culture. Examples of his images were angels, a woman dressed in
the band KISS make up, Kate Winslet, and “slave day”. I thought his work
really interesting and I personally would be interested in dabbling in works
that could be considered the “new cacophony.” Most of my art works always
seemed to have a message or meaning and that is why I would like to experiment
in doing art work that consists of putting something together for the sake of
putting something together. A Clusterfuck Aesthetic kind of work.
